Tens of Thousands March to Support Spanish Anti-Austerity Party

Madrid: Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Madrid today in support of new anti-austerity party Podemos, a week after Greece elected its hard-left ally Syriza.

The protesters chanted "Yes we can!" as they made their way from Madrid city hall to the central Puerta del Sol square. The party and its anti-austerity message have been surging in polls ahead of elections later this year.
